Ekaterina Manuylova, MD - Board Certified Endocrinologist

Dr. Manuylova joined the clinical team at The Firehouse in Septmeber 2017, and works alongside Dr. Michaels - diagnosing and treating hormone imbalances and problems by helping to restore the natural balance of hormones in the body.

No surprise that the daughter of a scientist (father) and a physician (mother) graduated with honors from Moscow State University. While pursuing her passion for research in the United States, Dr. Manuylova realized that she missed the human touch of medicine. She continued her medical education and completed an internal medicine residency in 2012, and sub-specialty in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at the University of Rochester in 2015 where she stayed on as an assistant professor.

She is rewarded by building long-term positive relationships with patients and sharing her modern understanding of disease while finding the best way to help her patients. Her family's love of the outdoors led them to "Beautiful Oregon". She enjoys reading, hiking and camping with her husband and three young children when she is not sharing the best of her education and experience with the community.
